Apology to World

[Walks_in_islam]

Soun let's talk about dead children:

Review this nice (high-resolution) video (courtesy of National Security Archives) of Donald Rumsfield shaking Saddam Hussein's hand in 1983 as part of "renewed ties between the US and Iraq". Doesn't Rumsfield look hearty and young?

Nice of the US to supply military aid and "pesticide precursers" to the iraqis. Nice of you to point out how the "aid" resulted in so many dead iranian children. You dare to speak to me of dead children? What do YOU people care about dead brown-skinned children (unless of course you can use them to "whip up some political will" to go pound on some more brown people)

What were your mines doing in the ground over there in the first place? The children you read about are part of the "lesson" we taught the Ayatollah. I guess we showed them didn't we? The kids are still dead and the Ayatollah is still there.

DISCLAIMER: At least Rumsfield got to make it right by killing some iraqi children on his way out. That makes up for the "handshake deal" he made with ole Hussein right?

Where else have Rumsfield and Cheney been and whose children will be dead because of their actions next?

The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.

"Atoms for Peace" <shakes head>

President Gerald Ford signed a directive in 1976 offering Tehran the chance to buy and operate a U.S.-built reprocessing facility for extracting plutonium from nuclear reactor fuel. The deal was for a complete 'nuclear fuel cycle'."[38] At the time, Richard Cheney was the White House Chief of Staff, and Donald Rumsfeld was the Secretary of Defense.

The people of the world do NOT thank you for your "gifts and support to their totalitarian leaders" nor do they think your self-interests or pocketbooks is a fair trade for the lives of their children. I doubt that either dick or donnie will apologize to the world but they dam sure owe our young men who fight one side then the other a big public one and a clear explanation of what exactly they are sending them over there to fight for and clean up. At least the current president, who by the way can still flip the switch and turn all of our lights out, can man up, look at this mess, admit mistake, and face it head on.

Excerpts from Hosken Report, Somalia Genital and Sexual Mutilation of Females, Fourth Revised Edition(Women’s International Network News) (PDF 66 KB): "The child, completely naked, is made to sit on a low stool. Several women take hold of her and open her legs wide. After separating her outer and inner lips, the operator, usually a woman experienced in this procedure, sits down facing the child. With her kitchen knife the operator first pierces and slices open the hood of the clitoris. Then she begins to cut it out. While another woman wipes off the blood with a rag, the operator digs with her sharp fingernail a hole the length of the clitoris to detach and pull out the organ. The little girl, held down by the women helpers, screams in extreme pain; but no one pays the slightest attention.The operator finishes this job by entirely pulling out the clitoris, cutting it to the bone with her knife. Her helpers again wipe off the spurting blood with a rag. The operator then removes the remaining flesh, digging with her finger to remove any remnant of the clitoris among the flowing blood. The neighbor women are then invited to plunge their fingers into the bloody hole to verify that every piece of the clitoris is removed."

Or this:

Ahmadinejad's Demons (Matthias Küntzel, The New Republic, Apr 24, 2006): During the Iran-Iraq War, the Ayatollah Khomeini imported 500,000 small plastic keys from Taiwan. ... To compensate for their disadvantage, Khomeini sent Iranian children, some as young as twelve years old, to the front lines. There, they marched in formation across minefields toward the enemy, clearing a path with their bodies. Before every mission, one of the Taiwanese keys would be hung around each child’s neck. It was supposed to open the gates to paradise for them. At one point, however, the earthly gore became a matter of concern. “In the past,” wrote the semi-official Iranian daily Ettelaat as the war raged on, “we had child-volunteers: 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds. They went into the minefields. Their eyes saw nothing. Their ears heard nothing. And then, a few moments later, one saw clouds of dust. When the dust had settled again, there was nothing more to be seen of them. Somewhere, widely scattered in the landscape, there lay scraps of burnt flesh and pieces of bone.” Such scenes would henceforth be avoided, Ettelaat assured its readers. “Before entering the minefields, the children [now] wrap themselves in blankets and they roll on the ground, so that their body parts stay together after the explosion of the mines and one can carry them to the graves.” In the name of allah

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khomeini's Religious Teachings on Marriage, Divorce and Relationships (Parvin Darabi, USA-based Dr. Homa Darabi Foundation website, Jun 10, 2006: "A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, other sexual act such as forplay, rubbing, kissing and sodomy is allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not comitted a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man's four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl's sister."
